Prides HW div

[VictorCharlie]

W/Both emelianenkos possibly going to Bodog or UFC
Khartinov and Barnett possibly going to K-1 Heroes
CC, Hearing, Big Nog now in the UFC
what the hell is Pride going to do w/ its HW div
They still got Monson, Hunt(if he can get to 265), Yoshida, Thompson, but after thats its pretty lean. I think either Sylvia or Arlovski along w/Vera should go over to pride just to have some new blood. If I were Zuffa/DSE I'd sign and leave Fedor in Pride. Sign his brother and move him to the UFC. Attempt to keep Barnett in Pride and move Khartinov over to UFC. Barnett and Khartinov can't get better money anywhere else. They'd be stupid to sign elsewhere. Maybe I'm' wrong. Maybe K1 can throw alot of money at those two to headline their HW div. K1 has had some decent MMA shows but I haven't got the feeling of a real org their. They are putting on MMA cards but I don't see a real structure. Hell I might even bring old Don Frye over to UFC for a couple of novelty fights.

ok....I thought this was an interesting discussion but i guess not. How about Fujita vs Khartinov? Any takers on Fujita?

I hope Pride keeps a great HW division,I'm a big Pride fan!
I'm not very impressed with K-1.(from what I've seen)
UFC is starting to come around here lately,before they never seemed to have enough good comp. in each weight class.I heard that since Pride got a new owner that they were going to have a fight or 2 against UFC each pay-per-view!I hope they match these fights up a little better than the one with Monson and Ironhead.I have favorites in both UFC and PRIDE but I lean towards PRIDE!
I can't stand Dana White!

I wander if within 10 years or so all these organisations will have disappeared/merged into one.

That would possibly be the best result
